Some people talk about the difficulties and obstacles of the road, such as crossing the river, where the poet and his party cross the largest river outside the Great Wall. There is no boat in the river, so they can only take the risk of drowning in a rowing basket. Some people write about the local conditions and customs, such as Zhuzhi CI outside the Great Wall. The poet pays more attention to the safety of the frontier fortress.

Five songs on the wall

He went to Yanjing on the first day and then to Liao on the fifth day, sighing the horse's sword. I don't have much to do today. I just describe the new poetry. Second, he heard that Saima was hissing everywhere. He woke up at five o'clock and heard the chicken. I also know that there are few good news at this time, and I mention it by myself. three Jian'er is as angry as a rainbow when he comes back from breaking the enemy. it is reported that the encirclement of Yin Mountain has been cleared, and the general is still sleepy. Fourth, the white bones are piled up in battle, and the five flowers are sealed in the imperial palace. on the day of the poor man's gratitude, the village has not been ploughed in April. Five soldiers and chariots were trapped in the lonely city, and the victory was still in the imperial capital. only a general can kill an enemy, others say it's suicide. the poet is good at painting, so there are a lot of poems about painting, which are for friends and for self painting. They are all wonderful.

Three songs on the plug

The general flies across the sky and vows not to return without stepping on the mountain. . Second, the white grass and the yellow sand are flat, the banners are in chaos, and the lonely city is hidden. There are many heroes in Bingzhou. General Budao wants to invite alliance. Loulan broke the Tongguan pass last night, and the general hastened to return it. It's a pity that the emperor of the Han family is still warm. the poet was concerned about the affairs of the state, liked to talk about the army, and even wanted to serve the country in the army. He once lamented that "we should not be ashamed of our country if we take care of our seven feet.". There are two things he can't do. One is that he is sick and the other is that he takes care of his old mother. Therefore, he "wants to go to the army, but the deaf and the deaf can't support him." but his patriotic feelings are always permeated in his poems about war.

Wen Jie never sleeps and likes to do it

They ask the people why they are worried first. the sky is overcast, the moon is dark and the ghosts are crying. Last year, no one collected the war bones. Another characteristic of Cao runtang's poems is that he does not regard himself as a rich family, but is very concerned about the sufferings of the people. He laments for the peasants that "the field will be desolate" and his inner joy that "this year's rain will be enough for a bumper harvest", as well as his attack on "xufeiguansatiety", pushing the idea of paying attention to people's livelihood to a higher level.
